About Vishnu Mohan

A guy born in a typical middle class family. Typical parents working for a government firm, who do everything possible in their limits to make your life comfortable.Education in the city’s best school,then graduated from a reputed institute, then went on to do my MBA from a reputed B school. Though not super sharp in studies I managed to get a placement on 0 day, amongst all 5 of us who got placed I was the only one who had a CGPA of 6,rest all were 9 pointers. I always had a feeling that though I am not super good in studies, but I have something in me.Started with my corporate life at a young age with a decent salary everything was smooth, until I realised this is not what I want to do. I was always passionate about fitness and even while at work the only thing on my mind was thoughts about workout, nutrition and exercise science. I started reading research articles and started trying things on my own and then explored a Facebook group in 2016 where a transformation challenge was happening, took part in it, managed to get in top 10 and then was offered a scholarship by the founder to learn more about Fitness and Nutrition. At that time it was like a dream come true and I would be forever grateful to FITTR for giving me this opportunity to work in the field which I am really passionate about. Seeing success at FITTR, enjoying the work and being at the peak of my fitness levels, I had a severe lower back injury in August 2018, doctors suggested me to stop lifting. I remember the words by the doc that “don’t even lift a pencil from the ground”. Fast forward 4 months I was 92 kgs at my worst shape and mentally at a very bad place. But in February In 2019 I decided I cannot stay like this. Started working out again slowly and focused on strengthening my back. At the end of 2019 I was at my best shape, had been featured in a motivational music video which is there on YouTube and competed in my first ever International fitness model and bodybuilding competition and bagged 2 silvers in both my categories, though not getting gold still hurts. But my focus is to win gold for India in 2022, and I invest every single day in the best possible manner to take me closer to that goal. So that’s how I turned a bad year into a super good year. With this story what I want to share is with strong will power and right mindset you can get out of any situation. So never give up.
